In a twist on that old adage about kids, subwoofers should be heard and not seen. Which is precisely the idea behind Velodyne’s new Wireless Wi-Q® 10 and 12 subs.

Affordable, powerful and feature-rich, the Wi-Q series is the culmination of Velodyne’s three decades of leadership in subwoofer technology. With no clumsy wires, it can be quickly integrated into any entertainment system – in any location within 50 feet (15 m) – or concealed in custom cabinetry.

The wireless Wi-Q 10 and 12 subs put the boom anywhere you want in a room, by eliminating awkward cables that limit optimal placement of a subwoofer and maximize bass performance. You’ll get incredible output, stunning impact and deep-bass performance no matter where you place it. Dubbed “The Smart Sub,” the Wi-Q series of wireless subwoofers offer:

Remote control set-up and operation, including Auto EQ, presets, night mode, volume control and phase adjustment

Velodyne’s exclusive distortion limiting system, designed to achieve maximum performance without overdriving and to achieve deeper bass extension, bigger impact and less distortion

Flexible crossover with subwoofer direct: an adjustable 40 Hz-120 Hz low-pass crossover enables the sub to ideally match any main speakers. The subwoofer direct feature allows the Wi-Q to play the output of the LFE channel of a 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel receiver unaltered, assuring the highest levels of performance.

The Wi-Q is a pretty awesome value right out of the box, but if your budget is tight, refurbished models are available as well. Wearing the “certified” seal, they’re virtually good as new [click here].Indeed, price-wise, the Wi-Q question just might be, “how low can you go?”

My name is AudiOdysseus. Admittedly, I would never describe myself as a hero of any kind and I tend to get seasick in open water. But I love adventure. There is nothing I appreciate more than exploring new territories and gathering information about the world around me. Those are also the types of posts you can expect from me. I’ll be writing mostly about new gadgets, emerging trends, and my work-related travels to other lands.

I'm passionate about music, a lover of pop-culture, a runner with a mad sweet tooth and an addiction to coffee. Read my musings about life, movie soundtracks and live concerts. If you see me on the freeway I am most likely singing very loudly in my car. Honk and say hi!
